Hello:
I have attention deficiet disorder without hyperactivity and I was medicated by a mind ultering drug as a child in the second grade and it damaged my soul so profoundly.

I am now an advocate for children's rights. Who dictates that children should not be children. What right does any adult have to subject children to sensorship. My blood is absolutely boiling. I have not read all the postings for the Crystal Children log but I will eventually. I have a holistic and gentle approach to my attention difficulties. A combination of different therapies:
Essential oils - namely Rosemary, Lemon, Peppermint (careful becuase it over stimulates) and one more that I will be purchasing soon - Angelica.
Evening primrose oil and ginkgo biloba vials (I found the vials at a Chinese Herb Place)
Finally Reiki
It was beautiful and miraculous how I discovered these alternative forms of help. I listen to the guidance of my higher angel

and I have never been disappointed.
The school system failed to teach me in a manner that opened my heart. It seems sad to me now that the adults in my life just don't get kids. Children are not chattal and they deserve to be given 2 cents because they are angels unawares.
I am so pleased that the Crsytal Children Link was provided because I will forward it to my fellow students and teachers at Grant MacEwan Community College. I was just accepted into the Rehabilitation Practioner Program and I will enjoy learning how to help people with developmental disabilities.
Love and Light Sweet Baboos
